"In a statement, Citizen Zoo said: "It's about building resilience to a changing climate, reconnecting people with the living world, and creating something local communities can feel proud of every time they pass by." Alamy The Community Brain said: "What was just a dream five years ago is now becoming a reality with the new wetlands already demonstrating their massive impact and now cattle coming onto the site.""
Three Sussex cows will be released into Tolworth Court Farm Fields in south-west London under the Wild Tolworth urban rewilding project. The initiative is a partnership between Kingston Council, Citizen Zoo and The Community Brain and has restored wetlands across the 42-hectare site. The cattle will be free to roam to help manage habitats and support biodiversity recovery. The project aims to build resilience to climate change, reconnect people with the living world, and foster local pride in the restored green space. The site previously supported skylarks, lapwing and bullfinches and restoration seeks to bring wildlife back to the Hogsmill River area.
